When I used to have a 360, as an avid baseball fan I was mandatory to buy this crap due to no other options. This is one of the worst sports sports meeting ever released (go read my review on the 360 page). The Show just keeps better and winning awards while 2K continues to embarass themselves. PS3 gamers have a choice, picking 2K9 over The Show is like wanting to guide a Pinto instead of a Porsche. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Boy 2k really mailed it in on this once splendid game. How hard is it to make a unadorned game like baseball so complicated? Why do I need to “Lock-In” my pitches? Unadorned game, aim and throw it. If this keeps up I guess I have no other choice than to buy that dreadful MLB series. Ewwwwwww!

The game is very addicting but also very hard at the same time. I can’t seem to win any sports meeting though. I figured I would get better after a few sports meeting but I can’t seem to hit the ball very well. I have only hit a couple homeruns after playing at least 10 full sports meeting and using the best teams (to include the golden and silver era). I can’t see how I lose to the worst team when I play as the all-star teams and so forth. I can pitch honestly decent but can’t hit worth crap. This game would be a five star if I could only hit the ball and get on base more. I am very dissappointed in that aspect and will not buy it. Luckily I only rented it.

I always been a 2K baseball series guy in the past, but this version ABSOLUTELY sucks!!! Pitching is WAY hard. Its near impossible to get more then 1 strike out per game with your pitcher (no matter how hard you try). Hitting homeruns is not the same either. Most of the time you just hit deep pop-flies that the computer always seems to catch. The graphics are GREAT but the game play SUCKS. I should have done a lil research before I bought this game. MLB The Show 09 looks MUCH better!! I would much more recommend that game over this one. Don’t waist your cash.
